The directory <SAMP>xmltok</SAMP> contains a low-level library for

The directory <SAMP>xmlparse</SAMP> contains an XML parser library

The directory <SAMP>xmlwf</SAMP> contains the <SAMP>xmlwf</SAMP>
|
|
|
|
|
application, which uses the <SAMP>xmlparse</SAMP> library. The
|
|
|
|
|
arguments to <SAMP>xmlwf</SAMP> are one or more files which are each
|
|
|
|
|
to be checked for well-formedness. An option <SAMP>-d
|
|
|
|
|
<VAR>dir</VAR></SAMP> can be specified; for each well-formed input
|
|
|
|
|
file the corresponding <A
|
|
|
|
|
href="http://www.jclark.com/xml/canonxml.html">canonical XML</A> will
|
|
|
|
|
be written to <SAMP>dir/<VAR>f</VAR></SAMP>, where
|
|
|
|
|
<SAMP><VAR>f</VAR></SAMP> is the filename (without any path) of the
|

to be processed.
